Guiding you home to yourself through the door to self-compassion:

The Heart.

Body-Mind-Spirit based therapy for Highly Sensitive People

MY APPROACH

With 20 years of experience across a variety of clinical settings — including residential treatment, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, crisis centers, and private practice — I have discovered that my truest passion lies in working with highly sensitive individuals.

As a fellow HSP, I bring my own lived experience to this work, understanding firsthand both the challenges and the profound gifts that come with being highly sensitive. I am deeply committed to helping you navigate the nuances of your temperament while embracing the superpowers that come with sensitivity — guiding you toward balance, self-compassion, and empowerment.

I believe that within each person lies the ability to create positive change and live their fullest life. My role is to guide and support you in acknowledging and releasing trauma with compassion — helping you learn from past challenges, cultivate a cohesive narrative, and step into your highest expression.

When we stay in our heads, intellectualizing our emotions, we distance ourselves from truly feeling and healing our pain. By immersing ourselves in our bodily experience and tapping into the heart center, we can navigate life's challenges with greater ease and understanding. The wisdom stored in your body is a powerful guide. I am here to help you access it.

THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES

My approach blends a humanistic perspective with a range of evidence-based healing modalities, creating an emotionally attuned and supportive space for transformational change:

Internal Family Systems (IFS) · Brainspotting · EMDR · Polyvagal Theory · Attachment Theory · Family Systems Theory · Gestalt Therapy · Narrative Therapy · Mindfulness Practices

As a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive practitioner and LGBTQIA+ ally, I am committed to meeting each person exactly where they are, providing compassionate care tailored to your unique journey.

Every circumstance we experience is here to teach us. With any life change comes the potential for transformation and growth.
